(AP) — A judge is weighing arguments that a former University of Virginia lacrosse player convicted in the slaying of his former girlfriend did not receive a fair trial.
In a bid to overturn his 2012 conviction of second-degree murder, Huguely attorney Jonathan Sheldon asked a Circuit Court judge on Wednesday to free his client on the grounds he had not received a fair trial, the Daily Progress (http://bit.ly/1RNBTfr ) reported.
Judge Richard Moore ruled that Huguely's trial attorneys would be allowed to break their confidentiality agreements and provide statements on Huguely's claim they were ineffective.
